Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 97: Cost

Lu Zhen was stunned by Mother Lu's painful scream, realising that her body had been injured. Her eyes bled as she clutched her head. In an instant, he moved at an unbelievable speed, reaching her within a picosecond.

Hurriedly, he delved into his sleeves and retrieved some paste.

"I guess practising with various pastes was useful, huh?" Lu Zhen immediately placed the paste in her mouth, gently forcing her to swallow it.

"Sigh, forgive me," Lu Zhen uttered, the best he could offer. He patiently waited for the paste to take effect. After two to three minutes, Mother Lu's screams gradually subsided, and her eyes stopped bleeding.

Huff! Huff!

Taking deep breaths, Mother Lu calmed herself. "Thank you," she managed to say before closing her eyes and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Sigh," Lu Zhen sighed with relief when he saw her condition stabilise. He stood there, carefully watching his mother's closed eyes as she meditated.

"Sigh," Lu Zhen sighed with relief when he saw her condition stabilise.

He stood there, carefully watching his mother's closed eyes as she meditated, gradually recovering slowly from the internal wounds.

Suddenly, Mother Lu's eyes opened, and she vomited blood.

"Congratulations on becoming a third-stage martial artist, my son," she said, ignoring the blood on her dress.

"Mother, what happened to you?" Lu Zhen asked, a confused expression on his face.

Uncertain, he had noticed her golden eyes when she looked at him, and suddenly she blanked out for a split second. The next moment, Lu Zhen saw her somehow injured, leaving him astounded and speechless.

As a peak second stage martial artist there were very few things that could affect her and now with just a blink of an eye Lu Ying was seriously injured just LIKE THAT.

It was beyond common sense!

"It's my special ability gained from the ancestor scroll, which helps me see far into the future," Lu Ying said as she gathered her energy.

Lu Zhen's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he nodded in understanding.

"I didn't know such a thing could be possible," he thought to himself. "But why did you use it on me?"

"I don't know; I almost instinctively used my eyes, and the vision I saw was..." Mother Lu had a strange expression on her face as she looked at Lu Zhen with an odd expression.

"Was the agent someone you know?"

"Yes, I have some friendship with her," she said.

"Are your injuries really fine?"

"Yes, they are. You can go."

"I won't," Lu Zhen shook his head sternly as he stood still.

However, upon seeing this, Mother Lu frowned.

"You little brat." Suddenly, Mother Lu made a sweeping hand motion. The moment she did, wind pressure was generated, and Lu Zhen could feel the qi seemingly pushing him.

Lu Zhen blinked his eyes, and the next moment, he found himself outside the palace.

"Young master," the guards greeted him with reverence.

"This..." Lu Zhen ignored the guards, as he couldn't believe his eyes.

He stared at the door, still processing what had just happened to him. The moment his mother made a move, he felt like a helpless insect blown away by the wind.

The force was so intense that the stinging sensation lingered on his skin, a result of the rapid air pressure she generated while at a terrifying speed he couldn't even comprehend.

Lu Zhen couldn't even see how she moved so swiftly that she could make him leave the room almost instantly without him even knowing how.

"I am really an insect compared to a peak second-stage martial artist," Lu Zhen thought with a sigh as he returned to his palace.

As Lu Zhen made his way towards his palace, he saw a little Lily pacing around.

"What are you doing, little Lily?"

Hearing Lu Zhen's sudden voice, she was a little stunned, but her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Young Master, Lu Zhi and the assassin girl have come."

"Oh, I can finally do my experiment now," his eyes glinted.
